William Shakespeare Attends All Points West

This past Friday I really wanted to go to All Points West, the New York/New Jersey music festival that featured Vampire Weekend, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Jay-Z, and d.j. sensations MSTRKRFT, among many others. Instead, I sent William Shakespeare in my place.

It might have been a mistake. First of all, an epic rainstorm battered the festival grounds all day, making it a pretty miserable experience. Also, Bill doesn’t really know many of today’s bands or musicians. And he tends to just quote from his plays all the time instead of just talking like a normal person. I think in the end he had a good time, despite all the melodramatic bellyaching. Here is a slide show of his photojournal, along with his comments. See Shakespeare’s complete report here.
